Aglianico is a wine of outstanding value and character. Its origins date back to the time of the foundation of the Hellenic colonies on the Tyrrhenian coast.
A particularly structured red wine of great elegance, warm and intense, with pronounced tannins. An important, deep and complex wine that fully expresses its Mediterranean character.
The label illustration was created by artist Lucilla Tubaro. The title of the work, AMMUJÁ, is a tribute to viticulture. In Irpinian dialect Ammujà means earthing up the vines, adding new soil around the base of the plant
